Customer Reviews Hoka Anacapa 2 Low GTX®

Nice,light, comfortable hiking shoe. I wear HOKA Speedgoat for most of my hiking, but wanted an alternative with some ankle support and waterproof, so this is a great choice. I needed a half size larger in this model versus the trail runners. Four stars because they are pricey.

Very comfortable right from the box. Toe box is roomy enough for feet to expand on a warm day.

I was at the end of my rope with foot pain in one way or another and thought my hiking days were over, until I put my feet into these! Pure comfort. I've hiked many miles over the last month and a half with them. But... the one downfall, which I just learned on my last hike when my foot landed in a small puddle, is that they are not waterproof. Otherwise,

Thank you for offering a wide in this shoe. Appreciate rain resistant. Using these in Dolomites hiking. Good grip even on polished limestone. But not great for via ferrata, too flexible, not a solid enough edge. For moderate difficulty via ferrata okay, used arms, legs to compensate but harder via ferrata the lack of structural stability of shoe was an issue. Switched to other more rigid shoes. For hiking great but above that becomes problematic.

It does seem to have run a little big for a lady's9. It' doesn't fit like othe 9s I've had. But I've worn it, to try to get used to the shoes.

Comfortable and supportive, these shoes also provide protection from the elements in that they are Gortex. I find them great for walking and a good shoe for travel.

Bought these to wear to work, I walk about 26 miles a week. I highly recommend breaking them in prior to taking them out on trails or wearing them for an extended period of time. I have Protalus insoles in my shoes but the shoe itself feels tight. This is the second pair I've owned and they've always run narrow.

I gave this shoe a try because winter in Michigan gets slushy and icy. I need a shoe that grips, is waterproof, and allows me to run errands as well as take walks and hikes with confidence. I already own 2 pairs of Hokas (Troopers) which I love for daily and trekking activities. However, I wanted a winter shoe with more "teeth" and tread to grab unpredictable, uneven surfaces especially during winter. The stiffer version of the Vibram sole also was a plus.

These shoes are a bit stiffer than other Hokas I have had, but they are incredibly stable and supportive. I wear them to walk my dog in the morning when the grass is still wet. They are perfect for the morning walks.dry feet and great support. I strongly recommend them for that type of short walk. I love the shoes but only granted four stars due to the weight ( a little heavy) and a bit of stiffness. If dry feet, good traction, and stable ride are your goals these are a great purchase.

Daily hiking the meadows and forests with two dogs, all weathers. At first the toe box on one shoe felt hard against my toe but softened with wear.

had to go up a half size for length and put an insert to take up space for my narrow feet.

These shoes are supportive and comfortable! Color more purple than charcoal, but I can live with that.

Shoe provides a great grip for uneven terrains , however since I've been trying to break them down , it's a little hard for training since they are waterproof and my feet sweat if they can't breath . Still trying to figure it out though . In addition they're run wide causing some blisters. I might have to try different socks and tight them out

I'm a city carrier for the Post Office and Hoka has been my go to brand for several years. I love that they offer goretex which is very important with my job. My Hoka's for work are normally mostly leather and these are not unfortunately. Also, my disappointment comes from these not being as comfortable as my other Hoka's. The heel is not as thick as normal which I think makes these less comfortable. They actually feel hard instead of the cushioning I'm used to. It's a lot of money, which I don't care to spend, but I just expected more. Still love Hoka's but not as happy with these.

Pe RV Evy shoe for long trail walking!

Love this shoe! Had tried the Anacapa Low GTX, first. Narrower toe box. Saw this Anacapa 2 GTX and love it. Bigger toe box and just more comfortable. Still went up a half size based on the other shoe and it's perfect.

I purchased in my Norma HOKA size (7) and my toe hit the end of the shoe, so I exchanged for a 7.5 and they were too sloppy.

I have had many hoka boots but these gore Tex ones are not comfortable at all and actually hurt my feet . I will not be buying again,

I love these lightweight hiking boots but unfortunately there's a seam that rubs right on my ankle bone. I've already worn them 2-3 days outside, so I don't know what I can do about it other than loosen the top two laces. Disappointing that this small feature has frustrated my experience of these otherwise wonderful boots!

I've had 4 pairs of anacapa but differing styles. I got the gore Tex for winter rain but the shoe feels odd. It's not as light weight as the other ones and not as much cushioning so my feet hurt.

Good looking shoe I had to return and find a wide. LL Bean did not have any in stock.

I bought these for my law enforcement job. I have high arches; and these lacked the arch support. I normally don't wear wide shoes. These boots run narrow; I would have to exchange for wide. These boots do have good heel support and cushion in toe box.
